In short, to have a state of the art programming language.

Some tricks can be used to make some checks at compile time instead than at runtime, for exemple,
instead of really implement abstract classes, it may just be enough to have private contructors,
like that the class would act as an abstract class but I suppose you can figure out these
tricks better than me.
Haxe use enum, private constructors, generics, etc..., why couldn't we have the same in flash
if we really want it, maybe a question of performence, then let's evaluate it and let the
communauty decide if it worth ?
